The Singapore International Foundation , in collaboration with the World Economic Forum, launched last week a regional multi-stakeholder platform to address the critical challenges of climate change, with a focus on water-related issues.
SEAPAW will galvanize action among stakeholders in support of a shared vision, fostering cross-border projects, and accelerating adaptation financing through public-private-philanthropic models. Stakeholders include knowledge partners, solution providers, financial institutions and philanthropies, as well as governments and policymakers.
SEAPAW was officially launched at a dialogue hosted by the SIF, the World Economic Forum, and the Global Commission on the Economics of Water . The event was held alongside the Singapore International Water Week 2024. Singapore President Tharman Shanmugaratnam was the guest of honor at the event. He is also the patron of the SIF, co-chair of the GCEW and a member of the World Economic Forum’s board of trustees.
